Had one on the way to work today. Going fairly quickly along a back road to work, I see a dip in the road but it's too late to do anything so I go through it. (Baffled that I didn't know it was there as I use it occasionally) As the car comes out it feels like it's left the road and the steering's gone very light, as the car settles it's veered left, then right and then finally back into line. Felt like it took an eternity to settle. Needless to say, definite brown trouser moment.

I came the closest I've been in a long time to a crash today - proper shaking hands for a few minutes afterwards. Joining the highway, moving across to get into the outside lane and came within a few inches of properly side-swiping a SWB Pajero.

A few years ago, I was approaching the same mini roundabout that I've been for the last 20 years but for some strange reason didn't see the car in front braking to a stop. I almost rear ended it at 30ish mph and probably would have caused a 4 or 5 car pile up. It's the first time I've emergency braked (for real) and had all four wheels skidding and smoking.

Years ago when I was a nipper, I was coming down a hill & spotted my mate waiting to pull out of the junction half way up.

Thinking it'd be an awesome thing to do, I yanked up my handbrake as I went past. I had visions of smoke billowing from my tyres as I sailed on by.

Unfortunately, only 1 wheel locked up on my trusty Mk1 Astra & I proceeded to fishtail wildly out of control, in & out of the gaps of the 5 oncoming cars!

God only knows how I missed any of them, let alone all, but fortune favours the idiotic & my mate got a hard time from one of the drivers as they thought he'd pulled out on me & I'd swerved to avoid him

I don't think so as it stretched the length of half the road, more like roadworks that hadn't been repaired properly.

Had this inmy Ibiza years ago. They had dug out basically a trench and the "ramp" sign had fallen down. Was making progress as well. Almighty BANG which knocked the tracking miles out loosened the dashboard and fvucked one of the p-zeros. Was raging.
